typical western with some big names
12 October 2022
Guy kibbee and lewis stone were supporting players in so many black and whites films. Tough guy wallace beery had already won his oscar for champ in 1931. His brother noah is in here, way down in the cast list as ambrose. It's a a western, from 1879, in arizona. Ol bill is the tough outlaw, who bullies the locals, and steals their livestock. So far, no-one has had the gumption to stand up to him. He's a no good, lying cheat, who takes advantage of any situation. And his partner blackjack is even worse. Fighter jeff burton is a law abiding citizen, who wants to do the right thing. He even makes marshall. Some old secrets may be uncovered from days past. Cliff edwards and his banjo are in here, in one of his more serious roles. When the show-down happens, whose side will bill take ? Blackjack... .. or jeff? And what will it mean to the family secrets that may come out? Some beautiful outdoor scenery of the cliffs of zion national park. It's a very typical western... with some hollywood greats. Directed by walter ruben. Died real young of a bad heart. Only directed one more film after this.
